1. Content: Aimed at medical professionals taking medical histories. Gives resources for them to view in becoming familiar with environmental causes of pediatric asthma. Gives access to a PDF full document on Environmental Management of Pediatric Asthma: Guidelines for Health Care Providers, an overview slide show and a training slide show. It includes competencies, an environmental history form and environmental guidelines. There are links to multiple online resources.

2. Design: the purpose of this website is a listing of various resources for health care providers, it is easy to go to various pages and then find what you are looking for and access other individual sites.

3. The Steering Committee members are all listed with their professional qualifications. There are no particular authors of information. This site is intended to help professionals find the resources they need to take care of their patients. The site has the endorsement of a number of medical professional groups such as: AACN, Ambulatory Ped. Assoc., Assoc of Faculties of Ped. NP, AMerican Acad. of Peds.

4. I was able to easily access this site from Google. You can register for a e-Newsletter. There are links to Contact and Support at the very top.

  2. I'm getting better at this! Anyway, I worked in an allergy and asthma clinic for 8 years...I didn't see allergist (We saw lots of children.)or allergy shots mentioned. I may have missed them, but I think I looked everywhere.

  3. I would love to take the time to explore this site a little bit more. It has endorsements from many professional organizations. Loved the colors and easy to use.
    I could get lost "drilling down" to all the information provided on this site.
